Longer, colder days can leave even the most resilient among us feeling low on energy, motivation, or mood – and yes, that includes me, your family doctor! If you’re prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or just feel the winter blues, you’re not alone. Winters in Albany, New York and the surrounding Capital Region can […]

How I Keep My Mood Bright as a Family Doctor Prone to Seasonal Affective Disorder

Seasonal affective disorder Albany NY

Welcome!
I'm Dr. Meghan Monthie. 

I’m a board-certified family physician who loves caring for families across multiple generations.
But the most important things to know about me can't be found on my resume.

I’m a wife to Phil (an attorney and Albany-area native), mom to two boys - Miles (a curious and delightfully feral toddler) and Henry (his smiley, chill little brother) - and dog mom to Daisy, our Havapoo pandemic pup.
I’m a (semi-retired?) marathoner and triathlete who will always choose cardio over strength training and still dreams of race days once the kids are older (and once my pelvic floor has fully recovered). 

Originally from Maryland, I’ve spent my entire adult life in the Capital Region. My winters upstate significantly improved once I picked up skiing and years in New York have made a wimp out of me when it comes to southern humidity, but I’ll make an exception for a visit home with the promise of a proper blue crab feast. 
I’m also a proud daughter and granddaughter of South Korean immigrants, whose courage and sacrifices shaped my own core values: perseverance, integrity, gratitude, and faith.

I’m a fellow human in a white coat who also knows mom guilt, late-night doom scrolling, skipped workouts, and all the beautiful chaos (and sleepless nights) of working motherhood.

I care for my patients the way I would care for my own family. 
I love being a family doctor, and I consider it an honor and a privilege to be your family's personal doctor.

Let's grab a (virtual) coffee

Meet Your Doctor

But the most important things to know about me can't be found on my resume.

I’m a wife to Phil (an Albany-area native), mom to two boys, endurance sport junkie, and daughter and granddaughter of South Koren immigrants whose courage and sacrifices shaped my own core values: perseverance, integrity, gratitude, and faith. 

I care for my patients the way I would care for my own family.
